LEFTOVERS: Seifert > Fox and Fox > Rivera

Recommended Posts

Skill players Seifert left to Fox:

Offense:

WR Steve Smith

WR Muhsin Mohammad

FB Brad Hoover

C Jeff Mitchell

OT Todd Steussie

 

Defense:

DT Kris Jenkins

DT Brentson Buckner

DE Mike Rucker

MLB Dan Morgan

S Mike Minter

 

K John Kasay

 

Pre-Analysis:

In hindsight, Seifert left a TON to Foxy. He basically built his D-line for him. All Fox did was draft Peppers to seal up the other book end with Rucker. Seifert also gave Fox a future HOFer in Smitty and a very solid #2 with Moose. I threw Brad Hoover in there because how much he meant to the running game, which we all know is what Fox was known for. Not to mention Klutch Kasay

 

Players Fox added to make a Contender:

Offense:

QB Jake Delhomme

RB Stephen Davis

WR Ricky Proel

 

Defense:

DE Julius Peppers

OLB Will Witherspoon

CB Ricky Manning Jr.

 

Post-Analysis:

Let's be perfectly honest- without the additions of Jake, Davis, Peppers and Spoon- the team doesn't even have a winning record. What Fox brought to the table was some Key players at Key positions AND a mental toughness the team never had before he arrived. Fox created a Thanksgiving Day banquet out of scraps on offense and sprinkled a little "pepper" on an inherited defense to make it all work.

Skill players Fox left to Rivera:

Offense:

RB DeAngelo Williams

RB Jonathan Stewert

WR Brandon Lafell

C Ryan Kalil

OT Jordan Gross

 

Defense:

DE Greg Hardy

DE Charles Johnson

OLB Thomas Davis

MLB Jon Beason

CB Captain Munnerlyn

S Charles Godfrey

 

Analysis:

Fox left a lot too, but most of the players were liabilities the time Rivera got a hold of them. Stewert and D.Will were probably the only things of note on that offensive team in 2010. Lafell was still mighty suspect at the time. Beason and Davis were both injury prone LBs- now Davis has become a true Leader, but I think most of us wouldn't have cared if Rivera released Davis at THE time. Munnerlyn isn't and hasn't been an All-Pro corner but has been reliable. Same respects to Godfrey. The only thing truly of note Fox left Rivera on Defense was the bookends- CJ and Kraken.

 

Players Rivera brought in to make a Contender:

Offense:

QB Cam Newton

RB Mike Tolbert

TE Greg Olsen

WR Tedd Ginn

 

Defense:

DT Dwan Edwards

DT Star Lotulelei

DT Kawann Short

LB Luke Kuechly

S Mike Mitchell

 

Post-Analysis:

The Next game is the most important right now.... TBD

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
